The Best Run EVER
The Expert is on his way back from San Diego, just in time for Mother’s Day. This morning, Yoda and I headed out to Mary Alice Park for some open water and some running. Where were the kids? Oh my goodness… I must have left them at home… Just kidding. As Yoda and I suspected, […]
Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Half Marathon Race Report
Saturday, November 3, 2012 Rock ‘n’ Roll Savannah Marathon and Half Marathon SBM Race Grade: A- On race morning, I woke up with the killer crud that my incubus of plague daughter, the Girl Swim Bike Kid, has been carrying. The Expert said, “Morning” and I croaked out, “Errr, morning” and he looked at me, […]
13.1 and Done
In honor of the one year of craziness, I went even more crazy today. My scheduled 11 mile run turned into 13.1 – the half marathon distance – and the distance I will allegedly cover on the last third of the Half Ironman (creeping up in the 63 days). I won’t lie and say it […]
Run the Vineyard 5k
5K race today with the Expert: Run the Vineyard at Chateau Elan in Braselton. I wasn’t expecting much from myself. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. Yesterday, the Expert asked me: “Are you going to run this race balls out?” I shrugged, “Oh, I don’t know. I’ll have to see.” The race started and at the […]

Running is Crack
Yesterday was recovery, which I should have loved. Especially after the tough week of training, plus crazy race up Mount Everest. But yesterday, I was in a foul mood….all…day…long. I even woke up today in a foul mood. The mood continued until lunchtime, when I broke away from the office humdrum for a 2700m swim at the pool. After the swim, […]
Red Top Roaster
I woke up at 5:45 this morning and headed to Cartersville, Georgia for the 1st Annual Red Top Roaster Trail Run. The race featured a 5k event, and a 15k event. Being the idiot that I am, I thought 15k sounded fun. Well, not really. My dear Coach Monster said it would be good fun. Maybe […]
I Must Scurry.
I am enjoying recovery day. Last night, I did email Coach Monster about whether or not I should succumb to the 9.3 mile torture that is sure to ensue this weekend at the Red Top Roaster trail run. The convo went something like this:Me: Saturday’s run is a 9.3 trail run […]
Still a Big Fat Sissy
Eleven mile run completed today. Whoop. During the run, I made the 5.5 mile turnaround, and saw a dad and son running towards me. I seem to remember seeing them last week. The remarkable thing about these two guys: they were both very heavy, big dudes. The dad was pushing 350, and the son, […]
